Preventive Care

 AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines

• All dogs should have the following core vaccines (unless there’s a medical reason not to vaccinate):
  • Distemper
  • Adenovirus
  • Parvovirus
  • +/- Parainfluenza
  • Rabies

• In addition to these, other vaccines are just as essential for some dogs based on their lifestyle and risk. These include:
  • Leptospira (should be considered for all dogs based on increasing prevalence)
  • Lyme disease
  • Bordetella
  • Canine influenza
  • Rattlesnake toxoid

 Key points from the AAHA/AAFP Feline Vaccination Guidelines

Core Vaccines

• Core vaccines are for all cats with an unknown vaccination history.
• FHV-1, FCV, FPV, rabies, and FeLV (for cats younger than 1 year old) are core vaccines for pet and shelter cats.

Non-core Vaccines

• Based on individual risk factors such as lifestyle, geographic location, and exposure risks.
• Non-core vaccines include FeLV (for cats older than 1 year), Chlamydia felis, and Bordetella bronchiseptica vaccines.

Screening, treatment and prevention for internal and external parasites.

Early preventative measures are critical to extending the quality time you have with your pets. Many health conditions can be slowed or corrected altogether if we detect them early with routine blood work and testing. 

A laser surgery helps less pain, less bleeding and quick recovery. Elective surgeries include Gastropexy, hernia repair, soft pallet resection, stenotic nare repair, cherry eye repair, and dewclaw removal.

We focus on maintaining healthy teeth by routine cleaning.

Teeth are scaled and polished. We remove calculus from the tooth's surface and under gumlines. If the teeth are very unhealthy, we remove them.
